fails if file content contains JSON unfriendly payloads

[dhammikab]

Are there any plans to allow the content to have an option to base64 encoded? or if this is already supposed how do I specify that my file(s) is(are) base64 encoded?

I've just released v4.1.0 (containing #69) that has support for base64 encoding your own content. You can use it like so:

const commits = await octokit.rest.repos.createOrUpdateFiles({
  owner,
  repo,
  branch,
  createBranch,
  changes: [
    {
      message: "Add Icon",
      files: {
            "icon.png": `iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACAAAAAgCAYAAABzenr0AAADFUlEQVR42u2WXyjzYRTHvz/N3zZ/5sJyoWEUEleKrYbcaEXKXCBWVsrFkii3LrVwo6Sslj/hhqS4cecOtcWFtUbI34RlNn83786p1fu+F+9+a/Ou982pp56e3+l3Ps855/k+j6BWqwMABMTBPoMmBAE+4xE8ZN8A3wCiAYqKinB8fAy/3/9Hv6ysLCQnJ+P6+jp2AEqlEvPz87i/v8fc3By2t7dRUFCAzMxM/k7rNDo7O1FbWwu73Q6TyRQ7gOrqapjNZtFpvby8RFtbW+wAVCoVrFaraICTkxPORswAhoaG0NzcLBqAbGxsDKurq9EDyGQyrK+vQyKRRARwdnaG9vb26AHKy8sxNTXF8/39fSwsLODx8RGpqalIS0sjPYfP58Pz8zOys7NhMBj4xNB6XV0dPj4+ogMoKyvD9PQ0bm5u0NHRgZaWFg5ssVh+8aOaJyUlYWVlBUtLS5BKpXwiogaQy+VYW1vDxsYGxsfHUV9fj6urK9ze3uLi4oJ9UlJSoNVqcXd3x6kfHBzkzDU2NkZeAhKShIQETiH9mHY7MjKC8/NzDA8Pw9DdDc/TEzY3Nznt5CcIArq6urgU1C8TExO8To1IPjTIh9ZIL8ICkDMNr9eLl5cX3g39rK+vj1NKYA6HgwXq7e2Nz31+fj6X4PX1lcvT39+Pg4MDVkUqBwWn8fDwEFkJEhMT8f7+jtLSUhiNRjidTuzu7rLUymTSIJAfHo+HS1VRUYGamhrMzs5ib28vbPpFAVDNqRFnZmY4lQqFAg0NDejt7eUskdHOSKi2trZwenoqKrBoALKenh4EAgEsLi7yZTQ6OoqqqiqeU3DSiJ2dHQwMDEQUXDRAeno6JicnuSGpLwoLC2Gz2ZCTk8NZcbvdyM3NhV6v/xqAEASda2oq6niqcUlJCQMcHR2hsrISra2tXwfwsy0vL+Pw8BDFxcXc9X8VgBqPhIlqTgB0QlwuFzQaDZqamsI+WKIG0Ol0fOYzMjJY+UgH8vLyWKpJDwjuSwFCRi8ieqL9Po/U/p1H6TfA/wsQvL0CQuhWiYP9AJQGkyweNFh0AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC`
